Dunno but I don't reckon the Galaxy looks too bad. Herts had one as an ARV slammed over some big alloys with big fuck off Brembo's inside them

The S-max looks awsome tbh

What I saw was not the maverick it was like a transit slightly smaller like a nissan largo this one was on alloys which looked like an amg old school flat style

The car looked very much like an import

Oh well

Never heard of a nissian largo? the nissian bongo, hmmm, not my cup of tea tbh, prefer the mitsu delica in that range of strange people carriers.

But the Galaxy/Sharan/Alhambra is a very good car really, for minimum trouble go for the 2.3 petrol manual. Although the V6 could be fun but i've never seen one in the workshop so don't know about them.

the new maverick then, whats that based on? nissan xtrail or something?

the new galaxy DONT come with the ST engine tony


didnt you get the bi monthly magazine last week


the toys on the s-max are silly, jsut soo many saftey top and modules in the car


as for never seing a old galaxy in the workshop,,,,,,,,,,, you mush never do gearboxes or clutch work as there a fooking nightmare for em

not to mention the problems we get woth wankers buying cv joints and then fitting em to wanlky pattern d/shafts and then complain when the cv joint YET AGAIN pulls out on full lock

oh no i know what a arse they are to work on, i said i've never had a V6 in the workshop so don't know what that model is like.

although i say theres much worse cars out there than a galaxy to work on, renualt espace for one, i would never own one of those lumps of shite.
